In 'In Defense of the Enlightenment,' Steven Pinker invites us to reconsider our view of the world. Through a rigorous and data-driven analysis, Pinker argues that life, health, prosperity, security, peace, knowledge, and happiness are increasing globally. This progress, according to the author, is a legacy of the Enlightenment, based on reason and science. Pinker urges us to defend these ideals to face current challenges and ensure a better future for humanity. With an accessible style and a solid intellectual foundation, this book is a passionate defense of reason, science, and humanism.
